bt-tether

bt-tether is a small script that enables your Jolla Phone to share its mobile internet connection over PAN Bluetooth Tethering. I could not find any software that did that realiably on up-to-date SailfishOS so I tried my hand at it.

It is quite experimental and a little hacky. It’s only been tested on my Jolla Phone 1 in developer mode. I’m distributing it here without any warranty, however I’d be glad to receive feedback, bug reports and pull requests; I’ll do my best to improve it.

How to use:

Download and install the package

Pair your device with the phone (do it again if it was already paired before bt-tether was installed).

On your device, request network from the phone in some Bluetooth menu.

Sorry I did not comprehend that bt-tether is a tethering provider (i.e., like an Access Point) in the first place.
Yes, the app tethering (by jlehtoranta) in the Jolla Store (latest version is 0.2.7 from 2014), which enabled WLAN- and / or Bluetooth-tethering, ceased to work at all with SFOS 2.1.2, while BT-tethering stopped working with SFOS 1.1.7.

@jfarnaud, did Bluetooth PAN Tool not work on your Jolla 1 phone?
I have to admit, last using it was under SFOS 2.1.3 or so, but when I did it was working well.

Side note: In the past, its author @kenya888 was quite responsive, so if you have issues with his tool or want to provide enhancements for it, it may be worth asking.
It has a minimalistic GUI (well, launcher icon), but AFAICS lacks a public source repository and a comprehensive description as you provide for bt-tether on Github. On first sight it appears to make sense to combine your efforts.
